Chile enjoyed unique prestige among the Spanish American republics
of the nineteenth century for its stable and increasingly liberal
political tradition. How did this unusual story unfold? The
tradition was forged in serious and occasionally violent conflicts
between the dominant Conservative Party, which governed in an often
authoritarian manner from 1830 to 1858, and the growing forces of
political Liberalism. A major political realignment in 1857-8 paved
the way for comprehensive liberalization. This book examines the
formative period of the republic's history and combines an analysis
of the ideas and assumptions of the Chilean political class with a
narrative of the political process from the consolidation of the
Conservative regime in the 1830s, to the beginnings of
liberalization in the early 1860s. The book is based on a
comprehensive survey of the writings and speeches of politicians
and the often rumbustious Chilean press of the period.
